Fit
BDJ-T2 TYPE II JACKET is our take on the classic Type II jacket. It has a boxy fit with a shorter length, just like its vintage inspiration. The flaps of the two chest pockets follow our signature horn shape. The BDJ-T2 also features the classic pleated front placket, which is finished with archetypal box stitching, paying further homage to its influential origins. We’ve modernised the style by adding two large inner pockets, providing some extra space to hold personal belongings.
Fabric
We’ve dubbed our 15 oz. vintage indigo selvedge denim the ‘special #2’, as it’s the second proprietary BENZAK fabric to enter our main collection. The fabric is a 3x1 right hand twill construction, and the raw vintage indigo colour represents a shade of indigo used for denim during 1960s. We've developed the special #2 denim with thicker weft yarns than the warp yarns; usually this is the other way around. This gives the fabric an extra soft interior resulting in additional comfort from the get-go. The selvedge colours are ‘Azurri’ (blue) and ‘Oranje’ (orange). As well as being an aesthetic feature, the custom selvedge pays homage to both collaborating companies’ national sports colours, Italy & The Netherlands. It's also a nod towards the long-standing friendship between BENZAK and Candiani. This denim has been created exclusively for BENZAK by Candiani Denim in Robecchetto con Iduno, Italy, and is one of our core fabrics in the ‘European made’ line.
